Angelology, by Danielle Trussoni

There are lots of kinds of logic floating around in our brains. There’s the true/false of Boolean logic, sure, but there’s also narrative logic, musical logic, and, for many of us, a big dose of movie logic. This novel contains an awful lot of movie logic.

If we had to pick just one key for a long and healthy unlife, it would be maintaining a proper, vigorous exercise routine.
